Grateful for a Family on Mission

We are resurrection people! This summer, we are focusing on living our thanks to God by featuring stories of gratitude from our church family. As you read these weekly testimonies, you are invited to consider what you are thankful for, and how you are inspired to live out your gratitude.

We are thankful for those that GO on mission! Through the experiences of three generations of missionaries, Madison Green, Raven Green, and Sylvia Mackenzie, learn about the children of Bolivia and the Amistad orphanage in the Grapevine!
